Since the season opened Sept. 15, anglers have harvested 1,095 wild coho. With several more days of harvest data coming in, managers estimate the 1,300 wild fish quota will be met.

“It’s been a popular fishery with 600 coho caught in the first four days,” said Laura Jackson, Umpqua District fish biologist.

Plenty of other fishing opportunities continue. The Umpqua River remains open for fall chinook, hatchery steelhead and hatchery coho. Check the Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations before you head out.
